You do not want the rpm. I don't like the current bundles either. I keep nagging vmware to provide the tar files that worked with make-vmpkg again, but they are too clueless to understand why real admins won't run GUI installer crap in X as root on their systems rather than something the package manager can deal with. Fortunately we now have kvm (on machines with virtualization hardware support) which is in my opinion much better than vmware, free, open source, and maintained and part of stock kernels. I have no need for vmware anymore. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-laptop-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
